My generation sure is gr8....

Tom Brokaw coined the term the "Greatest Generation" to capture the impact that the cohort who went through both the Great Depression and World War Two. The term "Greatest" shows that this generation made a significant impact on society and paved the way for future generations. My generation, however, is different. Theres nothing "Great" about us and as a whole, we're restless, bored, and without passion. Our society also places a high emphasis on the satirical. Fitting this theme, I think its appropriate to use a play on words and call our generation the "Gr8est Generation". The terms ridiculousness and its mockery of a generation that went through so much goes a long way in showing how cynical my cohort can be.
